We take everything from city runabouts to vans from the industrial estates. If you are in a Dundee multi-storey or a flat with allocated bays under the block, our recovery unit needs headroom. Mention the parking setup when you book and we will send a low-clearance truck. ## How we get there Dundee is 26 miles up the coast, a straight run over the Tay. Low transport cost is a large part of why Dundee quotes come out strong, and it is why we can usually turn a morning enquiry into a next-day collection. ## What we collect in Dundee We see a mix here: city runabouts that have simply run out of MOT life, and light commercials from the industrial estates at Dryburgh and Wester Gourdie. University turnover in summer adds a wave of cheap first cars that are no longer worth taxing. Typical collection situations: - Multi-storey blocks with allocated undercroft bays - Terraced streets in Lochee and Hilltown - Trade units and yards - Broughty Ferry driveways ## Dundee questions ### Can you collect from a multi-storey block in Dundee with no allocated bay? Yes. High-rise estates around Hilltown and Whitfield rarely have space for a full transporter, so we will agree a nearby loading point with you and skate the vehicle out to it. ### How far is Dundee from your yard and does that affect the price? Dundee is a short run up the A92 from Thornton, one of our cheapest areas to service. Low transport cost is one of the reasons Tayside quotes tend to be strong. ### I am a student leaving Dundee - can you scrap the car quickly? Yes. End-of-term collections are common here and we can normally lift within a day or two. Just make sure the V5C and your ID are with you before you go, and remember the payment must go to the registered keeper. ### Do you cover Broughty Ferry and Monifieth? Yes, along with Lochee, Menzieshill, Douglas and the rest of the DD postcode area, all on the same free collection. ### Do you collect scrap cars in Dundee for free? Yes. Collection anywhere in Dundee and the surrounding Tayside area is free, and there is no admin charge deducted from your quote. The price we agree on the phone is the price you are paid. ### How quickly can you collect from Dundee? Dundee is about 26 miles from our licensed yard at Thornton in Fife, and collection is usually next working day once you accept the quote. ### Will you buy a non-runner or MOT failure in Dundee? Yes. We buy running and non-running vehicles, MOT failures, accident damage, insurance write-offs and long-term SORN cars. The vehicle does not need to start or move. ### When do I get paid? Same day, by bank transfer, on collection. We never pay cash - that has been illegal for scrap metal in Scotland since 2016, so any dealer offering cash for your car is not operating legally. ### What paperwork do I need in Dundee? Bring the V5C logbook and photo ID. We complete the DVLA notification and issue you a Certificate of Destruction from the Authorised Treatment Facility, so the vehicle is legally off your name. ### What if the car has no V5C logbook? We can still buy it. You need photo ID and proof of address matching the registered keeper, and we notify the DVLA on your behalf. Never sell to anyone in Dundee who says paperwork does not matter - if the vehicle is not properly notified it stays your legal responsibility. ### Can you collect if the car is off-road or has no keys? Yes. Our recovery units winch vehicles with flat tyres, seized brakes, dead batteries or no keys. Just tell us when you book so the right truck is sent to Dundee rather than a standard transporter. ### Does someone need to be there for the collection? Someone over 18 needs to be present to hand over the V5C and ID, but it does not have to be you. If you have already left Dundee, we can arrange it with a nominated person and still pay the registered keeper by transfer. ### Do you charge anything if I change my mind? No. There is no cancellation fee and no call-out charge. If your plans change before the truck leaves for Dundee, tell us and we will rebook or cancel with nothing to pay. ### Can I get a road tax refund after scrapping in Dundee? Yes. Once we notify the DVLA, any full remaining months of vehicle tax are refunded automatically to the registered keeper, and any direct debit is cancelled at the same time. ### Do you take vans and 4x4s in Dundee as well as cars? Yes. Cars, vans, pickups, 4x4s, light commercials, motorhomes, hybrids and electric vehicles are all collected on the same free basis across Dundee. ## About the publisher - Business: Scrap A Car Scotland (SCRAP A CAR SCOTLAND.COM LIMITED, company number SC535292) - Phone: 0330 123 0112 - Email: info@scrapacarscotland.com - Depot: Strathore Road, Thornton, Fife KY1 4DF - Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 18:00 - Area served: Scotland - Licensing: SEPA licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF) - Collection: Free, anywhere in Scotland.
